🏏ICC Men's T20I WC 2022: Super 12 - Group 1 - ENG vs NZ - 01/11/22🏏 - Page 3

Toss time. England win the toss and bat. "Used wicket, a couple of games on it, we fancy a bat today," says Jos Buttler. "We're excited for the game, looking forward to it. Plenty of people raring to go."

Unchanged team for England, but Buttler adds he'll be "flexible with the order".

Kane Williamson: "We would have had a bat as well, but we'll adapt. We just want to focus on one game at a time and make those adjustments. Try to use the new ball first up."

Also unchanged.

Chetan Botre: Very soft spoken both of them, Jos and Kane. They let their game talk. And both need to have some runs today for their side.

The national anthems are done. England are batting first for the first time in this World Cup, while New Zealand are chasing for the first time. It is going to be interesting to see their respective approach.
